The Press: Pictorial Sold

On the title page of Pictorial Review, on each sheet of its letterhead,
is a rococo device: a scroll with the numeral "13" and a pencil,
surrounded by a wreath. That trademark was adopted by a German named
William Paul Ahnelt shortly after he founded Pictorial Review 32 years
ago. It symbolized the $13 capital with which he started his dress
pattern business upon coming to the U. S. Last week Founder Ahnelt. 67,
sold his magazine, long rumored "for sale," but for how much more
than $13, he did not reveal.
